TRANSPUTING '91 is the first internationally-organized Transputer conference,
to be held in Sunnyvale, California, on 22nd to 26th April 1991.
INMOS transputers, powerful RISC microprocessors with direct support for
message-passing intercommunication, are being used worldwide in many
branches of science, engineering and computation. TRANSPUTING '91 will
provide a major opportunity to review current work which uses the INMOS
transputer, as well as to learn the full specification of the new H1
transputer, and of the INMOS strategy for the future generations beyond
the H1.
Highlights of TRANSPUTING '91 will include :
A full technical disclosure of the new 150 MIPs, 20 MFLOPs H1 transputer
67 contributed papers accepted from 17 countries
5 invited speakers - covering the past, present and future of transputing
- with David May and Leslie Valiant (newly-elected Fellows of the Royal Society)
13 tutorials on introductory and advanced topics
An exhibition of products from 20 companies
... plus the opportunity to discuss transputers and multiprocessing with many
leading personalities in the field
Only a few rooms are now left at the conference hotel - the Sunnyvale
Hilton Inn - and you are advised to register promptly for :
The main conference (23rd - 25th April) plus 3 nights accommodation,
breakfasts, meeting breaks and a 900-page set of proceedings : US $650
